In the final, turbulent hours of his life, legendary playwright F. Scott Fitzgerald finds an unexpected confidant in a struggling college student in this poignant biographical drama. Rhys Ifans delivers a haunting performance as the literary icon, now a faded star wrestling with regret and alcoholism in 1940s Hollywood. His chance encounter with earnest student Phil Ettinger sparks a night of profound reflection, as Fitzgerald recounts his glorious past, tumultuous marriage to Zelda, and the crushing weight of his own legacy. Directed and written by Steven Bernstein, the film weaves a tapestry of memory and melancholy, exploring the fragile intersection between artistic genius and personal ruin. With a supporting cast including John Malkovich and Romola Garai, Last Call captures the intimate, bittersweet atmosphere of a man reckoning with his own myth as dawn—and his own mortality—approaches.
